DNA synthesizers are instruments used to synthesize DNA and oligonucleotides in a controlled and automated manner for various applications in molecular biology, biotechnology and therapeutics development. DNA synthesizers help accelerate the process of DNA synthesis by automating the chemical reactions involved, thereby increasing productivity and reducing human errors. They use solid-phase DNA synthesis technique where short oligonucleotides are sequentially assembled on a solid surface to form longer DNA strands of desired sequence. DNA synthesizers offer advantages like speed, precision and the capability to synthesize long DNA fragments and optimized oligos for various molecular techniques like gene cloning, gene editing and next-generation sequencing. The global demand for DNA synthesis is driven by increased research activities in life sciences and biotechnology.
